Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Lu Ze stood up helplessly and gave An Lin Yue a wry smile.

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

An Linyue smiled and shook her head, the shopping bag in her hand swaying gently with the movement.

"She's quite cute. But you spoil your sister way too much, don't you? You give her whatever she wants." There was a genuine sense of admiration in his voice.

Lu Ze, whom she usually saw at school, always seemed lazy and indifferent to everything. This was the first time she had ever seen him show such kindness to anyone.

"There's no other way." Lu Ze's gaze followed Celine and Bella's retreating figures, his tone becoming more somber. "She suffered a lot when she was young, and now I want to give her the best of everything."

Xilin, who was walking ahead, had very sharp ears. When she heard Lu Ze's polite words, she subtly pursed her lips.

You talk a good game, but you didn't say that when I wanted to buy a computer yesterday.

Back then, you refused so decisively, saying with a straight face, "Study hard and see how you perform first," but now you're putting on an act in front of others.

Despite her inner grumbling, her golden eyes subtly curved slightly out of Lu Ze's sight.

Bella was leading Celine past a row of clothes when Celine suddenly stopped.

It was a row of miniature uniform skirts, exquisitely designed, with various styles filling the entire rack.

Celine's gaze was fixed on a black and white mini maid outfit in the corner.

A small satin bow was tied at the neckline, and the skirt was trimmed with delicate ruffles. The whole outfit hung quietly on the rack, yet it seemed to have some kind of magic that rooted her feet to the spot.

Celine's gaze darted back and forth between Bella and the outfit twice, a sly smile playing on her lips.

She tiptoed, reached out and took the maid outfit off the hanger, then shoved it into Bella's arms.

"Bella, go give it a try."

Bella's face flushed red instantly.

Her face turned red all the way down to her ears, and even the arms holding her clothes were trembling slightly.

"I don't……"

Her voice was half an octave higher than usual, but she stopped halfway through because Celine was tilting her head to look at her.

"Give it a try."

Xilin blinked and gave her a standard coquettish expression.

She recently discovered a very important pattern—whenever she acts cute, neither Bella nor Luze can do anything about it.

While it's not quite to the point of "giving you whatever you want," Lu Ze will indeed try his best to meet your requests most of the time.

As for Bella, needless to say, she has never said "no" to herself since the day she was born.

"I want to see it," Celine added, her tone carrying a childlike anticipation.

Bella bit her lower lip, clutching the black and white maid outfit in her arms, standing there dumbfounded.

She couldn't bring herself to refuse Celine; yet, she was utterly unwilling to put on this outfit.

If it were Lu Ze who made her wear this, she would have already slashed at him with her claws.

But this is Her Majesty the Queen.

Rejecting Celine?

The word doesn't exist in her dictionary.

She opened her mouth, then closed it again, then opened it again, and finally just silently hugged the clothes tighter.

An Linyue found it amusing and quietly moved half a step closer to Lu Ze, lowering her voice to say something.

"Your two younger sisters are really interesting. The older one looks fierce, but the younger one has her completely under her thumb."

Lu Ze put his hands to his forehead and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't let Bella's current state fool you; she only acts like this with Celine. Even if it were me, it wouldn't work on anyone else." His tone was full of helplessness.

If an ordinary person dared to do what Xilin did, they would probably be flattened by her dragon claw before they could even finish speaking.

Unfortunately, Bella never actually went into the fitting room to put on the maid outfit.

But Celine still insisted on buying it.

She wanted Bella to wear this outfit from the very beginning, and Bella's opinion was not taken into consideration.

Until I left the clothing store.

Bella remained silently clutching the paper bag containing the maid outfit to her chest, her hands clenched tightly, her ears still red from the moment she spoke.
